Colorectal Diseases |
Diagnosed with IBS04/08/2008 |
I`m 22 years old and I started to have colon problems when I was 15. At first I thought it`s because of change of food and/or daily routine, etc. The pain and diarrhea kept getting worse, so I decided to see a doctor. I have actually seen many doctors, and each of them have diagnosed me with IBS.I have tried many medications such as Zelnorm, Nexium, lots of antidepressants, some powder medicines and many more that I can`t even remember all names. None of them has worked, and my symptoms are still the same and sometimes getting worse. I`ve read many articles about IBS and all of them say fatty foods and lack of sleep can cause IBS. I`m very slender (100 lbs) and I eat healthy food every day. I also get about 9 hours of sleep everyday, and have an easy desk job.
I`m currently taking Imodium (2 a day) and Metamucil - Fiber Vitamin. Anybody has any suggestions what medicines should I take?
It would be difficult for me to second-guess the experts you have seen; sounds like you have been given good advice.You may consider the use of probiotics and other complementary therapies if traditional medicines have not helped.
